Kwame_Anthony_Appiah’s Biography

Born in London, where his father, a native of Ghana, studied law, KA Appiah spent his childhood in Kumasi, Ghana, and received his education as an intern at Bryanston School and, later, at Clare College, Cambridge, where he obtained the PhD in philosophy. He has taught African and African American philosophy and studies at the universities of Ghana, Cambridge, Duke, Cornell, Yale, Harvard and Princeton, and has lectured at numerous institutions in the United States, Germany, Ghana and South Africa, as well as at the Ecole des Hautes Études in Social Sciences in Paris.

Anthony Appiah published numerous cultural and literary studies on African and African-American subjects. In 1992, Oxford University Press published In my father’s house, a work that has become a classic of cultural studies and for which it has received the Herskovitz Prize for the best African-American study published in English. His research deals with African and African American history, literary studies, ethics, and philosophy of mind and language. He has regularly taught courses on traditional African religions. His main interests are, at present, of double nature: on the one hand, the philosophical foundations of liberalism and, on the other, the questions of method linked to the knowledge of values.
